SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, MY ABS SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT ON MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING TO TOWN WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON, 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE MOTOR KEPT RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO MY ASC CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REVIEWED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME MY ABS MODULE IS SHOT AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $1000.00+ (PARTIALLY DUE TO NO AFTERMARKET PARTS AVAILABLE.) SO NOT ONLY IS GM UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE COMPOUNDING THE PAIN FOR OWNERS BY HOLDING A MONOPOLY ON THE REPAIR PART. UNACCEPTABLE - A RECALL IS IN ORDER - THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE GM IS NOT ADDRESSING. *AK
